The complementary color of coral pink is teal. The first recorded use of coral pink as a color name in English was in 1892.[6] Late in 2016, the color sample was renamed Coral Red by Pantone, as the RGB, hex and HTML color table showed the same color as being reddish, standing against popular belief of pinkish.
Still today, some people call coral red "coral pink" due to this old attribution.
The normalized color coordinates for coral pink are identical to Congo pink, which was first recorded as a color name in English in 1912.[7]
